Evaluation of Legal Aid Ontario's youth Court Action Planning Pilot Project
6.0 Evaluation Findings:
The YCAPP was designed to achieve several major outcomes, including:
- Reduce the use of the youth court, particularly for less serious offences;
- Reduce the use of pre-trial detention; and,
- Reduce the use of custodial sentences.
In addition, LAO had the following objectives:
- To build on LAO's existing resources by staffing youth courts with experienced, knowledgeable duty counsel who work as a team with community agencies to maximize the potential for out-of-court diversions and alternatives to custody for young persons; and,
- To improve the delivery of high quality legal services to young persons by fostering community outreach and the development of relationships between defence counsel, partners in the justice system, and community agencies delivering services to young persons.
Reduction in the Use of Youth Court:
With respect to reduction in the use of youth court, particularly for less serious offences, the evaluation indicates that the outcome is achieved through the YCAPP. To demonstrate that the outcome is being achieved, reductions in the average number of court appearances are sufficient for both bail planning and sentence planning. While reduction in the average number of court appearances is necessary to demonstrate the outcome is being achieved for extra-judicial sanctions, it is also necessary to show that extra-judicial sanctions cases also result in the sanctions being completed and the charges withdrawn or stayed.
In total, 225 youth became involved in the extra-judicial sanctions planning component of the program. The Crown Attorney is responsible for screening youth into the formal extra-judicial sanctions programs operated by probation services using criteria set by the Ministry of the Attorney General ( Ontario ). The 225 youth who became involved in the YCAPP extra-judicial sanctions planning component had been denied access to extra-judicial sanctions by the Crown Attorney. The denial was based on criteria for acceptance, such as the type of charge. Of the 225 youth, 218 were deemed eligible to have plans developed based on rejection by the Crown for the extra-judicial sanctions program and their willingness to become involved in and cooperate with the YCAPP. A total of 200 cases had completed plans. Of these, outcome information was available for 139 cases. In 125 cases (89.93%), the charges against the youth were either stayed or withdrawn, or in situations of multiple charges, both stayed and withdrawn, depending on the charge (2 of the 125 cases). In 14 of the 139 cases (10.07%), the youth was sentenced to probation. The data illustrates that this component of the program was successful in diverting youth away from other forms of sanctions in almost 90% of cases that reached the point of completion. Hence, the extra-judicial sanctions component is achieving the intended outcome of reducing the use of the court system and diverting youth from other forms of sentencing.
The average number of court appearances in Ontario youth courts is 7 (2003-2004). The results indicate that regardless of the type of planning in which the client is involved, YCAPP clients appear in court fewer times on average than the average for Ontario. The most reliable comparisons are for those involved in sentence planning. YCAPP clients made an average of 2.5 court appearances, compared to the average of 7 for Ontario youth courts. Bail planning cases made an average of 1.7 court appearances. Finally, Extra-judicial Sanctions Planning clients made an average of 2.8 appearances.
Reduction in the Use of Pre-trial Detention:
To illustrate that YCAPP results in reduction in the use of pre-trial detention, it is necessary to show that a substantial proportion of the completed YCAPP bail planning cases resulted in bail being granted and that in a sufficient proportion of cases granted bail, the Crown's was asking for detention.
In total, 318 cases were processed to the point where a plan was completed and presented in court and a bail decision was rendered. Of these, 272 (85.5%) cases were granted bail, while 46 (14.5%) were detained.
The Crown's position on bail was identified through the Crown's submission to the judge after verbal or written receipt of the individual plan developed for YCAPP clients. In 93 of the 272 cases (34.2%) where bail was granted, it was granted in situations where the Crown's was asking for detention. It is interesting to note that in those cases in which bail was not granted, none of the cases were cases where the Crown would have consented to release.
Based on the data, it can be concluded that the YCAPP is effective in reducing the use of pre-trial detention, based on the number of cases in which bail is granted, and the proportion of those cases where the Crown would have requested detention.
Reduction in the Use of Custodial Sentences:
To determine whether or not the YCAPP is effective in reducing the use of custodial sentences requires examination of:
- The type of sentences YCAPP sentence planning clients were given
- If the sentence involved a custodial term, the level of custody given
- The Crown's position on sentencing relative to the type of sentence received
As in the case of bail plans, use of the Crown's position has similar limitations that must be considered.
In total, there were 60 completed sentencing plan cases. Fifty-six (56, 93.3%) were given non-custodial sentences. The security level of custody and/or the length of custody were affected in 4 of the 60 cases in which a custodial sentence was given. One case was affected at 311 Jarvis, 1 at Kenora, and 2 at Metro West. When both non-custodial sentences and changes in the type of custody or length of custody are considered, 100% of sentence planning cases meet the criteria.
In the 56 cases where a non-custodial sentence was given, the Crown Attorney's position was that some form of custodial sentence should be requested of the court in 50 cases (89.3%). In the remaining cases, the Crown Attorney made a joint submission with the defence lawyer following receipt of the YCAPP plan for the youth.
Of the 4 cases in which a custodial sentence was given, the Crown's position was that custody would be required in 3 cases and no information about the Crown's position was available in the fourth case.
Based on the evaluation findings, it can be concluded the desired outcomes have been achieved. The YCAPP does result in reduction in the use of youth court. This is true in each site. YCAPP also resulted in reduction of the use of pre-trial detention and custodial sentences for clients involved in the program in all sites.
With respect to the LAO-specific objectives, LAO was successful in achieving the objectives, as demonstrated through process evaluation results. Duty counsel and defence bar serving each of the pilot project sites were trained in working with the YCAPP staff and in dealing with the YCJA. Through this, they were able to increase the potential for out-of-court diversion and alternatives to custody for the YCAPP clients.
Further, community outreach and development of relationships between defence counsel, partners in the justice system, and community agencies delivering services to young people was successfully implemented in each project site through the YCAPP YCW.
7.0 Recommendations:
Based on the findings, the following are recommended:
Establish Sustainable Funding:
The YCAPP is effective in achieving program outcomes. Achievement of these outcomes aids the client and his/her family, the justice system through reductions in costs through reductions in use of court time, pre-trial detention, and custodial sentences. Further, Legal Aid Ontario is assisted through reductions in costs of providing legal counsel, given that the number of court appearances is reduced for a substantial number of clients. These results occur regardless of the specific types of planning services that are provided. Further, these results are achieved regardless of the site in which the program is operational. Given the differences between communities, some communities will achieve greater benefit from various types of planning services than others (e.g., Kenora achieves greater benefit from pre-trial detention planning than sentence planning).
Expansion of the YCAPP:
Given the success that has been achieved in all YCAPP sites, expansion of the YCAPP should be considered. In considering expansion, consideration should also be given to the level of effort and community resources that are present in communities to which the program is to be expanded. YCAPP requires immediate access to community resources/services in order to provide meaningful planned interventions to address client needs. Both Kenora and Newmarket had fewer resources and more taxed resources than those of the other sites. In both cases, the YCW worked with other community members to attempt to address these issues and develop community services and resources. In communities with limited services and resources, it will be important to ensure that the YCW is skilled and able to undertaken community development.
If the YCAPP is going to be expanded into communities where there are few resources available, consideration could also be given to expanding the role of the YCW to provision of some brief but needed services, such as anger management courses for YCAPP clients. Inclusion of direct service provision in the job description for a YCW would have to fit with the mission and objectives of any organization funding the YCAPP.
Promotional Materials for the YCAPP:
While the YCAPP staff have done an excellent job of promoting the YCAPP, justice system interviewees indicated that they would have benefited from materials that described the types of cases that would benefit from involvement in any of the planning services and how they would likely benefit. If continued, the YCAPP should develop these materials for promotional purposes.
Promotion of the YCAPP in Other Areas of Canada :
YCAPP was funded through the Youth Justice Renewal Initiative. The evaluation provides evidence that program is effective in: reducing the use of youth court, reducing the use of pre-trial detention, and reducing the use of custodial sentences for youth who would otherwise have been processed through the youth court, and been facing detention and custody. The DOJ, Youth Justice Branch should ensure that other jurisdictions across Canada are made aware of the YCAPP's effectiveness and, where appropriate, encouraged to implement the program.

On the other hand, i would like to know how do these SendHandles manage the operations that pass values by reference and pointers.

Zach and I have never had the flu shot. It's our personal decision; we are not discouraging anyone from taking it. Flu shots are for young children, the elderly, people who have certain medical conditions, and pregnant women. None of those categories apply to us. Besides, all flu vaccines do, is sensitize the body against 3 strains of flu virus (the H3N2, influenza B, and H1N1 virus). There are many other strains the vaccine is not effective against. For us, it simply makes more sense to seek out alternative ways of protecting ourselves from all flu viruses.
So in the spirit of the popular saying "prevention is better than cure," here's a list of natural and holistic foods you can easily incorporate into your diet that will help boost your immunity. Chances are, you're already eating a lot of these, so the key is just to amp up your intake!
Garlic and onions. In both cases, raw is best. But I can hardly imagine anyone chowing down on a clove of garlic or slices of onions every couple of hours! If you cook regularly, just plan on adding more garlic and onions to your recipes! In my opinion, they make almost everything taste better.
Tea. There is so much to love about tea. And you will be pleased to know that every kind you choose to consume (green, black, red, herbal) helps boost your immunity. My favorite decaf concoction is a few chrysanthemum buds, a handful of goji berries, and a small amount of ginseng root. If you like your tea slightly sweet, use honey. Honey has great anti-bacterial properties. Lately we've also been trying out some black goji berry tea (that turns a fascinating shade of purple).
Spices. Yum. Look for recipes that call for tumeric, cinnamon, cayenne peppers, and cloves. These spices are loaded with antioxidants and are so good for your immune system.
Fermented food. I'm talking about kefir, yogurt, sauerkraut, kimchee; basically anything that serves up a healthy dose of probiotics.
Fruits and vegetables. Eat these in large amounts and in a large variety of colors. Whatever you pick will be a good source of vitamins A and C, and zinc -- all important in the maintenance of a healthy immunity.
The other easy thing you can do to stave off the flu bug is sleep. Sleep well, sleep deep, and sleep soundly. And when you're awake, stay active and find time to be out in the sun (vitamin D)!

Question about Dell OptiPlex 170L PC Desktop
I've tried to upgrade a 40GB drive to an 80GB drive on my Dell Optiplex 170L. I used Ghost to copy the C: & D: Partitions over to the larger drive and I'm now getting a message at boot up of "A disk read error occurred Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart".
If I press"F2" during the bootup and look at the "Drive Configuration" the BIOS seems to recognise the "Primary Master Drive" and automatically show it as 80020MB (in an Aqua Marine colour).
I've check the BIOS version and it is A07.
If I press "F12" (for Boot Menu) during bootup and select "7. IDE Drive Diagnostics" it shows the Primary IDE as Drive 0 : ST3802110A (i.e. my seagate 80GB drive)
I'm a bit stuck now, can you help?
Posted by simon_king_6 on
No Diskette in the A: Drive and no CD or DVD in the DVD writer. The Boot order is A: then E: (DVD Drive) then the Primary IDE Drive
Ghost was used on a totally different unit (which reliably ghosts disks) using a ghost boot disk, 40GB disk then 80GB disk (in a caddy). a Ghost Multicast server was used to make an image of the 40GB drive and then apply it to the 80GB drive (re-sizing the partitions as a result)
Ghost was used on a totally different unit (which reliably ghosts disks) using a ghost boot disk, 40GB disk then 80GB disk (in a caddy). a Ghost Multicast server was used to make an image of the 40GB drive and then apply it to the 80GB drive (re-sizing the partitions as a result)
Nothing else was added (i.e. no SATA controller etc.)
Already changed the boot order so that the Primary IDE (80GB drive) was the first one in the list and to make sure I disabled the A: Floppy Disk and the E: DVD-Writer. I'm not doing much giggling. Thanks for your help though.
I have done the same to a second PC (my Sons) using ghost (again) so I don't think re-ghosting will help. It's got to be something like a BIOS limitation or a hidden partition that Dell needs and it wasn't ghosted across for reasons unknown.
I still have the issue
I have the samme problem with a 270. it came with a 40GB seagate. I tried to replace with 250gb WD. Used copy Commander to clone and expand the disk. exact same error message, exact symptoms. Flashed the Dell BIOS to latest. no help. repartitioned the drive to 40gb and 210 gb. No help. Changed cable select jumper from Cs to master, no help. Copied three times, no help. i suspect it has something to do with either the system is expecting a seagate 40 gb drive due to some setting somewhere, OR I wonder if it has something to do with the business nature of the machie (I bought it off lease from tigerdirect0 perhaps an "asset management" setting? Still stymied
Is there a disk in the A drive?
Posted on Nov 23, 2008
Was the Ghost program on the A drive?
Did you add a SATA controller at some time?
As much as a pain as it is .. try re-ghosting

At the sound of the alarm, employees of the Department of Science and Technology - Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (DOST-PHIVOLCS) performed the Duck, Cover, and Hold technique and evacuated the building as they participate in the 2nd quarter Nationwide Simultaneous Earthquake Drill (NSED).
NSED is a quarterly activity organized by the Office of Civil Defense (OCD) that seeks to heighten public awareness and to educate the public on the importance of preparedness against earthquake hazards.
The 2nd quarter NSED ceremonial venue was held in Davao City at Bolton Street along University of Mindanao on June 29, 2017, Thursday at 2:00 PM. DOST Usec. Renato Solidum, Department of National Defense (DND) Usec. Ricardo Jalad, and Davao City Administrator Zulieka Lopez led the ceremonial pressing of the button to indicate the start of the earthquake drill. The drill in Davao City simulated a Magnitude 7.0 earthquake generated by the Central Davao Fault Zone (CDFZ) with the Intensity of PHIVOLCS Earthquake Intensity Scale (PEIS) VIII [Very Destructive]. Barangay residents, students, and owners of business establishments participated in the community-based drill. Different scenarios were performed to showcase response during a strong destructive earthquake.
As the agency mandated to monitor and study earthquakes, DOST-PHIVOLCS pushes for the continued promotion of earthquake awareness and preparedness since it introduced the conduct of earthquake drills in schools way back 2002.
Philippines is a seismically active country with approximately 90 destructive earthquakes and 40 tsunamis recorded in the past 400 years. Strong earthquakes may result to earthquake hazards such as ground shaking, ground rupture, liquefaction, tsunamis, and earthquake-induced landslide. Awareness and preparedness will increase our chances against natural hazards and disasters.

We approached the man and found him to be a handsome young man who had the signs of gnosis manifested on him. We greeted him and said, 'They say that you claim to be seeing Allah!'. He said, 'Away from me! Had I lost Him for a twinkle of an eye, I would have died an hour ago; and he began to recite:
'The beloved asks his Beloved to be pleased,
"I asked him, 'Are you a madman?' He answered, 'To the people of the earth, yes, but to the people of the heaven, no.' I asked, 'How is your state with your Protector, Allah?' He said to me, 'Since I have known Him, I have never been unaffected by Him.' I asked, 'Since when did you known Him?' He said, 'Since He put my name among the madmen.'"
- from He Who Knows Himself Knows His Lord by Shaykh Muhammad al-Jamal, may God be pleased with him
"Wheresoever ye turn, there is the face of Allah."
- The Quran 2:115
Thus there did not come to those before them a message bearer but they said (of him) in like manner, "A magician, or a mad man"! - 51.052
And your comrade is not mad.
Surely he saw Him on the clear horizon.
- 81.22, 23
The Divine will show them the Signs on the horizons and within their own souls, until it shall become manifest to them that it is the Truth. Is it not sufficient as regards your Lord that the Divine One is witness over all things?! - 41.53
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of be upon him) said: "Islam (self submission to Divine) began as something strange and will revert to being strange as it began, so give glad tidings to the strangers."
- Prophetic tradition recorded in Muslim Compilation (145), narrated by Abu Hurayrah

A number of artists and writers were engaged to contribute to the making of the artist's book Kboek-Round Production. They received a list of trigger points to which they could respond. The reactions came back in a varied form: as essay, comment, photo works, collages and objects.
The book carries no direct activist, moralist or academic claim. It is a surprising gathering of different interpretations. The basic idea behind the book is to set an alternative parallel to the commrcial conglomerate: a hermetic corpus, built through the clotting of different functioning organs.
Graphic designer Lenno Verhoog combined the contributions into a multiple, open artwork which aims to stimulate the reader into visualizing his/her own complete picture.
Kboek was presented along with an exhibition in Noordkaap, Dordrecht.
It opened with a performance by Nina Hitz and Florian Cramer and finished with a concert by Static Tics.
A second presentation of the book included the performance 'Art is a Luxury' with Coolhaven & F. Cramer. Held at the Center of Arts, Rotterdam.

Today's post is an easy way to transform a simple composition book into a journal. I purchased a plain notebook for 50 cents. The cover was mostly gray and black, with just a center box outlined in white. I decided to cover the box with a piece of black cardstock. I rounded the corners of the cardstock before adhering it to the front of the book. I cut a white piece of cardstock slightly smaller than the black cardstock, also rounding the corners.
On the piece of white cardstock, I stamped some of the images from the new stamp set called "Kinda Eclectic." The ink colors used were Hello Honey, Blackberry Bliss, Mossy Meadow, and Basic Gray. The leaves were stamped once directly on the project, and again on a scrap of white cardstock. Then I fussy cut the leaves out and glued over top of the stamped image. I stamped the big butterfly once (after stamping off) and the small butterfly was stamped full strength on a scrap and punched out. For bling, I added 3 mini rhinestones to the butterfly, a wadded up loop of linen thread, and a simple bow made with Blackberry Bliss ribbon. For the last touch, I added a tiny piece of washi tape, and stamped the word "sparkle." The sentiment is from a new stamp set that is coming in the holiday mini catalog called "Good Greeetings." The white layer was then glued over top of the black cardstock.
Sorry for the glare from the camera!
Since the stores are getting ready for back-to-school sales, it would be a great time to pick up a few extra composition books while they are on special. I like to have these types of journals ready to use for various things. They are great to use for junk journals, keeping track of bills, or just a place to jot down things you don't want to forget.
Happy stamping!

A lot of things happen when you turn 80: you're officially retired and the dream of competing in the Iron Man triathlon or climbing Mount Everest has faded. But, enjoying each and every meal, eating whatever you want, and smiling ear-to-ear is the one thing that doesn't have to end. Many of my older patients prioritize restoring their teeth as an absolute "must have" to increase their current life satisfaction.

Published Tuesday February 8, 2000, in the The Scotsman
Andrew Cromar, an electrician, was fined Ł150 for ignor-ing police
requests to turn off the "watch-frogs" placed in his garden to deter vandals and
Glasgow District Court heard that the frogs' sensors were so sensitive
that loud croaking could be activated by gusts of wind and washing flapping in a
neighbouring garden.
Neighbours Catherine and James Watt, 66, of Thorncroft Drive, Kings Park,
Glasgow, were driven to distraction day and night.
Mrs Watt, 65, who is on medication for a sleeping disorder and high blood
pressure, told the court: "The frogs were croaking each and every time I entered my
own garden. I heard them at 2am when I was in my sitting room or in my dining room. It was
invasion of my privacy."
Mrs Watt said she eventually snapped when two of the frogs croaked at her
as she went shopping. She picked them up and threw them in a rubbish bin, but when she
returned the frogs were back in place and joined by a third.
Eventually, the police were alerted, but Cromar, of Thorncroft Drive,
refused to stop the electronic frogs' chorus. Cromar denied a charge brought under Section
54 of the Civic Government (Scotland) Act of 1982 alleging that he refused to comply with
police requests to turn off the frogs.
Yesterday, Sarah Barr JP, found him guilty and fined him Ł150.
The frogs, one of which started croaking when it was produced in court,
were kept in custody to await destruction.
Cromar, 39, who is self-employed, claimed to have been the victim of a
miscarriage of justice and said he intended to appeal against his conviction and lodge a
formal complaint against the Strathclyde Police officers involved.
He claimed he had closed-circuit TV video footage in which, he alleged,
other neighbours could be seen cutting down his trees and committing a breach of the
He said: "I made complaint after complaint to the police and they did
nothing except to bring me up into court about croaking frogs. They cost Ł3.50 each plus
VAT and there are 140,000 of them all over Britain."
He added: "It's pathetic. I will fight on no matter how much it costs
and how many years it takes."
In court, Cromar claimed the Smiths, a neighbouring family, had cut down
trees on a piece of ground where ownership is disputed.
Constable Alan Jackson, 32, the policeman to whom the Watts complained,
told Greg Cunningham, prosecuting, that he went to Mr Cromar's house on 18 February last
year and asked him to de-activate the frogs or switch them off during the evenings and at
night. He said Cromar had refused.
Two days later, PC Jackson said he visited the Watts, who were anxious and
agitated, after a further complaint, and he heard the frogs croaking in the garden. Cromar
was not in so he decided to go into his garden and seize the frogs as evidence.
He denied to Cromar's lawyer, Philip Cohen, that the seizure was illegal
because he had taken the frogs without the owner's consent.
Later, Mr Watt said: "We are satisfied with the verdict. He has done
what he did and he has paid the price. I am having nothing to do with him [Cromar]. He is
not the kind of man you speak to."

As opposed to prose
See the thing about girl-talk
It isn't about finding a solution to our affliction
It isn't about conversation being a means of distraction
It isn't about communication of scintillating information
It's about wanting to be heard and paid attention
So this is perhaps what happens when one random word leads to another and out births a poem of sorts. Interesting and thoroughly enjoyable process, short though as it was. Got to admit, I'm not familiar with poetry. Actually, this does seem kind of like a rap, a very proper sounding one that is. I must confess that when I read the Lord of the Rings when I was younger, I skipped all the poetry bits, all of them, that's a lot. I did attempt to read a bit but all those beautiful poetry just washed over me and I just didn't get it. Not that I can foresee myself reattempting to read them anyway. There are just some books that you know you'll only ever read once, as good as they may be, just like there are some movies you know you'll only ever watch once.
I really like WordPress's fullscreen mode blogging now, it is spartanly sparse. I press spacebar in the title bar, which effectively leaves it blank instead of showing "Enter title here", and then I start typing, and all I have on the screen are words. No text boxes, no title bars, no sidebars, nothing else. I can only wish my room could be this neat, comfy bed, perhaps a very simple bedside table, a rattan reclining chair near the window for reading, and that's it.
You know of all the things people say they miss about staying abroad in a place of temperate climate, I don't think I've heard anybody say they miss sleeping in total silence. Well I do. Total silence: No passing cars, no whirring of a fan or air-conditioning, no insect noises, nothing but the dark comforting silence in the middle of the night, when everybody in the house is asleep. And you tuck yourself into bed, letting the duvet engulf you, and allow yourself to slowly drift off to sleep.
Anyway, I think I've come to the point where I've relegated my blog to a random collection of posts none of which are tellingly personal yet not really impersonal. This is not where you would come to if you wanted to know how or what I'm doing, there's Facebook for that.
Funnily enough, there are two main search terms that will lead somebody to this blog. The first one involves Broga Hill, a hill near my previous uni that has in recent years became a hotspot for people from the city to go on weekends. It doesn't seem to matter that when I went there on a single occasion and blogged about it, it was about three years ago. Now the place is just overrun with people, and people making profits off it such as charging people for tours or car parking.
The second search term that leads to this blog is one that is entirely misleading: sushi buffet kuching. And it was because I blogged about once going for a sushi buffet at Yo Sushi at KL. Yes, KL, not Kuching. Well, when I did come back from UK where I was very much Japanese food deprived, I was hoping perhaps to see what there is in the way of a sushi buffet in Kuching, and there it was on one of the top search results, my blog post. It took me having to read through several blog posts till I gathered that perhaps my best bet was to try one of the hotels here if I wanted to go for a sushi buffet. But I have not actually tried any, and now come to think of it, I probably wouldn't. Sadly, the age of my metabolism rate has finally caught up with me, and I no longer have the eating capability of a 18 year old.
Hence, I have had to exercise more discipline and willpower in my eating habits. I thought I was going to lose it when a jar of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies were bought and brought home recently. That first day, I only allowed myself to half a cookie. The second day, the cookies were still on the kitchen counter, not even half finished by the rest of my family, and it was so tempting to have one, or perhaps two, but I only had half when it was late afternoon and I couldn't resist it anymore. There is something about these cookies from Appetit, seriously. My mum and I were at Oldtown at the Hills shopping centre when she went off to the loo, and somehow managed to be sidetracked by the bakery, Appetit, on her way back. Which was how we ended up with our first jar of cookies, which led to the second jar two weeks later, which I have had to practise extra willpower not to go near to. Well, the cookie jar has finally left all but one cookie now that oddly enough nobody seems to have taken. Hopefully, there shall be no third jar of cookies appearing at home, at least not anytime soon.
Golden Arches and Paris
July was a busy month. It involved travelling to various parts of England and Paris with my family. I graduated. Moved back to Malaysia. Now fast forward to August and here I am in Kuching, the past two years or so abroad being mere memories from a sometimes foggy past.
Anyway, that was just a very brief recap. This post is really meant to be about what I unexpectedly liked about Paris this time round that I went with my family, that I did not realised when I went earlier on this year with my friends. I never ever would have imagined I'd get to visit Paris another time, much less just seven months after I had just been there. But I'm glad I did go in winter, when Paris was beautifully unmarred by the hordes of tourists as it is in summer.
This time round, travelling with family means also having to bear in mind that not everyone is like me and willing to travel in search of food. So there we were the first night in Paris at Champs-Elysees, we had just seen the Arc de Triomphe, and it was dinner time. From my previous experience, the Champs-Elysees is a touristy place where the eateries are either franchises or restaurants which give me the impression that no self-respecting local would step into. But, I did remember a tip where if you must eat in the area, McDonald's is your best bet. So, since it wasn't too far down the road that we saw McD's, McD's it was.
My main fear when going to eateries in Paris is the difficulties in communicating what I wanted, but there was no worries here, the staff could speak English alright. So I scanned the menu, (thank goodness for photos), and I spotted something that I had not seen in any McD I had ever been to before, alcohol. Beer to be specific. And from what little French I could decipher, you could get it off the meal deal. Why would I even want to drink Coke when I could have a beer?
As for the burgers, the range is quite different from what I've had in UK or Malaysia. This is a Royal Deluxe which my brother had, which is basically a revamped Quarter Pounder I suspect, with a nicer mustardy sauce and actual tomatoes. I've heard that some of the burgers on the menu actually use like French cheeses, but I wasn't able to identify them then. Too bad for me, would have quite liked to try a McD burger with roquefort in it…
And they serve wedges as an alternative to fries as part of the meal deal, they are savoury with a crispy skin and fluffy potato-ey insides, nice. Continental McD is already looking so much better than UK's at this point as I was sat with my burger, wedges and beer, in a affordable family eating establishment. Plus, the Champs-Elysees branch has these window seats where you can people watch from, though we didn't sit there. Instead we had this like huge round table to ourselves, see what I mean about family eating establishment?
Well we did go to McD's another time during our time in Paris. This time I ordered a CBO. Which from what I got from the images on the box stands for Chicken Bacon Onion? It says parfait on the box, which sounds a little presumptuous, a burger calling itself perfect, but it was pretty good I'd have to say.
You open the box to unveil a square-shaped burger bun topped with bacon lardons and sesame seeds, and it encases a deep-fried chicken fillet topped with cheese, crispy bacon strips and lettuce. The sauce was where the onion came in, I think.
At quite a few McD's at Paris, there is an accompanying McCafe on the same premises, which has a range of desserts and drinks. Their tea is actually quite good, they come in pyramid-shaped fabric bags of infusions, or it was at the branch I went to at least. My mum ordered two slices of this flan. Just plain ole flan, but it was nice.
I read that McDonald's is planning to build the world's largest McDonald's at the London Olympics site. Suits them well I suppose, UK's McD's seems like a more pop-in and pop-out place, the alternative to a kebab takeaway after a late night at town, or somewhere you'd go for a quick lunch when you're sick of sandwiches. McD's in Europe however, it's a whole different affair, you feel a bit more dignified, to say the least. One thing's for sure, Malaysia's McD's got nothing on this, not even with its attempts to fulfill local's tastes with offerings such as congee and fried chicken. But oh well, who would want to eat that when we have Laksa, Kolo Mee, Tomato Mee…
What's up this summer in the kitchen
A lot has happened since the last post. Had a poster presentation and an oral presentation for my final year project. Finished and handed in my dissertation. Immediately went away on a most English beach holiday. Came back.
Oh yes, I'm on my summer break now. It shall be the last holiday before I properly "grow up" and lead an "adult working life". Except that I've not actually got a job yet, but all in good time.
One of my summer projects shall be to cook up a storm in the kitchen and document the process with photos. The kitchen experiment was an inspired idea from my housemate and fellow food partner-in-crime. We have quite different strengths in the kitchen, but our food tastes mostly agree and we both don't in the least mind experimenting with foods. I quite look forward to this, though it will be quite a feat to organise and continually come up with something worthy of documenting.
I've been reading up on food photography and playing around with ways and places to photograph food within the house. And I've come to realise why the photos of food I took in my room generally looked nicer than those taken in other places, and it was because of the gauzy day curtains in my room that diffused the sunlight giving the food this soft natural light which just made food in general not look as if it was overly greasy. Thankfully it's summer and I don't have to think too much about artificial lighting because even at 8pm which is past normal dinner prep time, it's still bright.
I think I outdid myself yesterday. I woke up and one of the first things I remember thinking when I was half-awake and still refusing to get out of bed was that I had to finish up my overly ripe pears and a crumble sounded like a lovely idea. Then, I set about preparing the pear filling and while that was on the hob, made the crumble topping. There is something I find that I rather like about crumbles, it's that you can feel your way about it. Like I can just go about adjusting the ratios of flour to butter to sugar for the crumble till it gets that right texture that I can't do with cake mixtures.
And then once that was in the oven, I got about making lunch. Which I even then had time to photograph, because I thought the fried egg turned out beautifully this time, which isn't always the case when I fry eggs.
Okay you'll see what I mean about what I mean about the glistening of the food photos that are not taken in my room, this was taken in the living room, which is where our dining table is, student house as it is. Love how the egg yolk looks here, makes me just want to pop it and watch the runny yolk ooze out.
So that's that photo, unedited. Could have done with some editing, but I really can't be bothered. Compare it with this photo of biryani rice that was made some weeks ago.
See how there is this softness about the light when the photo is taken in my room? Well I think it makes a difference. Instantly looks better.
Ok, so I was saying I outdid myself because later on that day, I was thinking of what not boring thing to have for dinner. And since I had quite a bit of milk to finish before its expiry date, I thought of making a roux. So, I put some butter in the pan, lots of garlic and paprika, fried some white fish fillet and flaked it up in the process, added flour, then I turned down the heat and added milk and stirred and it just developed into a glorious sauce. Seasoned that with salt and freshly ground pepper and had it with tagliatelle. Would have loved if I had tomatoes at hand, and perhaps roasted flaked almonds or some nutty earthy element. As it was, I had carrots just because I had to have some sort of vegetable and there wasn't much vegetables in my fridge.
I'm looking forward to the kitchen experiments, perhaps we'll even invite some daring people over to try them as well, haha! Meanwhile, I'm anticipating the coming of summer fruits! Cannot wait to make my first jam of the year =D.
One thing you could do with a piece of paper
Last week I went up to Sheffield and stayed with my sister who's studying there. See the thing about hanging out with first years is they are first years and can afford to be a bit more relaxed about exams and stuff, sadly however, I am no longer a first-year, in fact I'm a final-year (gasp!). So it was all play and pretty much no work done when I was there.
Which was why I ended up barricading myself at home since I got back, trying to get work done. Trying being the keyword here. Because rather frustatingly, words are not coming to me in my writing. I read journal article after another, treasure-hunting for nuggets of wisdom to shed light on how to present what I'm writing, and this week it has been slow, to say the least.
After about 5 days, I was so glad to have a valid reason to get out of the house, to go to church for Good Friday. And it was great. Walked from the bus stop to church and it was so sunny and warm, and somehow I managed to make my way across 4 normally busy roads without having to stop for any lights or cars, which was one of those "this is pretty awesome" moments. And I had chance to serve at church today, helping here and there, and that was pretty fun to be honest. I was genuinely happy and my dissertation was the last thing on my mind, which was great!
Anyway, I was making chicken soup today, couldn't be bothered to spend that much time in the kitchen so I made enough for lunch and dinner. Soup must be like one of the best "minimal preparation, amazing outcome" food. Before I had my lunch, sitting there at my sunny spot beside the window, I looked at what I had prepared and was inspired to take a photo of it.
Not too shabby looking. And then I felt like playing about with lighting a bit, so I reached into my drawer and picked up the first random piece of printed out journal article that I had, turned to a blank side, and used it as a light reflector thingy.
Hey looky, that's looking a lot brighter. And that, was the most joy I've gotten out of that journal article. And probably will be the most joy I'll get out of it.
Tada, story of a final year student's simple joys in life.
Fruit Pastilles
I'm not much of a candy person myself. When faced with the option of chocolate or candy, chocolate almost always wins. I can relatively easily turn down candy offerings, not so much chocolate.
However, I found myself with a candy craving the other day whilst at the supermarket, quite unlike any craving I've ever had. So I ventured down the aisle of sweets, pondered my choice whilst being amazed at the array of sweets available, and later on picked out fruit pastilles.
Like I said, I don't eat sweets very much. A strong memory I associate with sweets is that I have them on holidays when I went on planes. Normally my mum wouldn't buy me sweets but she would make an exception for this. I remember hard-boiled fruit sweets, Mentos, the odd butterscotch candies, Polos… There's something about each of them. Hard-boiled sweets the kind that you would try to suck and keep as long as you could in your mouth until you ran out of patience and crushed into them. Mentos with its minty taste and that refreshing feeling when you've had one of them and drank cold water right after. Polos that were fun to eat just because they had a hole in them, but they last for all of two seconds each before they are gone. Butterscotch candies were very rare, these were proper treats because they were quite a bit more pricey than the rest, but if you forgot one and left it in your pocket they left a horrible melty sticky mess.
Anyway, fruit pastilles did the trick this time, with their juicy and sweet chewiness. Some people may have favourites about which flavours of pastilles they like in a tube, but I like them all equally. Can't say the same for M&Ms or Smarties though, even though they are all of the same colour, I think gravitate away from some colours more.
Okay, in all honesty, am quite stressed out by my final year project and dissertation, hence random post about fruit pastilles that I made my way through while writing. But I know I'll survive, and will be graduating, and have a whole summer holiday ahead of me. It's what keeps me going these days, especially when the weather is all sunny and lovely outside and I have to do work. About one more month to go before this is done, yay.
Experiments in the kitchen of the Italian kind
What on earth is that, you may think. Why it's dough. The kind that invites you to plunge your hands into it and work your hands through it. Or perhaps not, if you're the kind who doesn't like floury messes. Yes, about the dough, I've never quite seen dough like this before, its texture runny yet incredibly sticky. Just tilting the bowl and letting the dough slide produced this effect in the photo. The pattern it forms rather reminds me of the network of gut blood vessels. Ok, ew.
Well this kitchen experiment was brought on by my housemate who pasted a link on my Facebook wall, pizza it seems was the order of the day. So first off was making pizza dough, from scratch. Which was how we ended up with this gloopy mess of a dough, quite unlike what we would have expected of a bread dough. But not to be put off, we went along with the risen dough and made pizza!
Gloops of pizza dough sitting on a tray, brilliant canvases for a meal that has much potential.
Did I mention that it was an exceptionally sunny day? Basil was nicely soaking in the sun by the window, its bliss only briefly interrupted by a short pruning session for the pizza.
Ryu isn't fond of waiting times, and this pizza did take quite long to prepare.
But eventually it was done, and the flavours did turn out rather well. There were two versions: Both had caramelized onions, tomato and ricotta. One had chorizo/ham on it. The other had the tiniest prawns ever on it. The ricotta lent a very nice creamy kind of cheese element to the pizza, different from cheddar. However, there was the issue of paper sticking to the pizza, despite being oiled. Note to self, if ever to reattempt making pizza, shall make on different surface.

In just a few weeks my family and I will take possession of a 1913 Florida style Bungalow home.
What do I know about houses like this? Not much, but I'm really excited about learning about them.
The home at one time was loved and cared for, but unfortunately it recently became a casualty of the housing market failure, so it needs A LOT of TLC.
And that's where we come in..

ABC News Correspondent Dan Harris returns to the topic of meditation in today's featured Big Think video. Harris, who champions mindfulness as a sort of superpower after it helped him recover from an on-air panic attack, is author of the book 10% Happier: How I Tamed the Voice in My Head, Reduced Stress Without Losing My Edge, and Found Self-Help That Actually Works--A True Story. In the following clip, he explains what Janice Marturano calls "purposeful pauses":
Basically, a purposeful pause is meditation in a single serving:
"Essentially her argument is there are times during the day that we often use to let our ego, our inner narrator run wild like when your computer's booting up in the morning or when you're driving to work or when you're waiting for the elevator. You can actually co-opt those in between moments to just focus on what's happening or focus on your breath which is a great way to boost the muscle of focus."
Some people get scared away from meditation because their only visualization of it is what they've seen in documentaries about Tibetan monks. As Harris explains, mindfulness is so much more accessible than that. All it takes is 45 seconds of calm while the elevator reaches your floor to take advantage of meditation's benefits.
"Meditation isn't about erasing all of your problems or clearing the mind which is a huge, huge PR problem for meditation. It's about creating a different relationship to the chaos of the mind."
Harris later describes purposeful pauses as "not taking the bait" when your mind takes off running in undesirable directions. "That is a superpower," says Harris. Meditation probably won't ever net you a starring role in a comic book but it can help you be the calmest and most focused person in the room.
For more on purposeful pauses and meditation in single servings, check out this 2013 Huffington Post article by Janice Marturano.

I've long been looking forward to being 50, partly because the fun I had in my 40s (and I did have a bit) was offset by some pretty bloody awful times – in a decade I just couldn't wait to put behind me, my mother died after a long and painful illness, and my family (of origin) fell apart; and, as a result of this double emotional burden, I went into early menopause and developed galloping psoriasis. But that's not all! (as they say on TV). My daughter went through a horrendously difficult adolescence; I injured my back and eventually had to have hair-raisingly expensive emergency surgery; my son dipped out of varsity after what he described (heartbreakingly) as a 'very lonely year', and for a long time it seemed he would become one of those boys who lives forever in his mother's basement; I lost two close friends over trivial disagreements we should easily have been able to weather; the world economy collapsed, taking my freelance workstream with it, so I was reduced to typing transcriptions to pay the bills (and, as boring and tedious as the work was, I'm not knocking it, because it was all I had for many months)… I could go on but I'm starting to depress myself so I won't. But you understand what I'm getting at here – my forties were filled with flak.
So it was with great anticipation that I headed towards 50, and I celebrated the actual day – 19 October – as I intended to go on through the decade: my friends Jenny, Bruce and Pieter, my sister Bev, my niece Emma and I (and, of course, Balu) climbed the Kasteelberg at (literally) dawn's crack, and celebrated near the top with a fantastic view of the valley bathed in early-morning summer sunshine, with champagne and strawberries.
My actual party was on 1 November, two weeks later. This was to allow my Dad time to celebrate his girlfriend Catherine's birthday with her on 24 October, and return to South Africa in time to celebrate mine with me. (And thanks again, Marianne, for coming up with that very elegant solution to what felt to me – pre-50, haha! – to be an intractable problem.)
The celebrations began on the Friday night with the arrival of some very dear old friends. Chris (in the yellow, below), who I met back when we were both in our early 20s and whose life has since taken him to Europe and elsewhere, and who knocked my socks off by popping back to South Africa specially for my 50th party; my dear old high-school friend Alex (far left), who came from Johannesburg; and my oldest and bestest friend Amanda, also from Joburg (far right), who I met on the first day of Grade 1, and who has through the last 44 years remained close and precious to me. My sister Bev also joined us, for a very cheerful meal on Friday night. (Thanks, Jane-Anne, for the giant sparklers – which you gave to Daniel on his 21st three years ago and which we finally got around to using that night!)
Early on the Saturday morning, Bev and I went for a walk around Het Vlock Casteel farm – the farm at which I'd be having my birthday lunch – before returning home to collect the others and heading up to Het Vlock Casteel to set the table. Bev was the brainchild behind the table centres – the 'Tracey trees' with the letters spelling out my name and their bright-orange spiders (below, at the bottom – and I can't work out why this photo simply refuses to be the right way up!); and the jaunty yellow potplants. Isabella was the creative energy behind the origami flowers that were the place names.
Unusually for Kasteel, the wind blew that morning – a minor disaster for the table, as almost everything on it was made of paper, and the strong gusts blowing across the deck sent napkins, place names and other bits and pieces flying about. Ansie, the events coordinator, lowered the plastic blinds, which helped a bit. The blinds had to stay in place throughout the afternoon, which was a shame, but at least we could still see the beautiful view through them.
Preparations done, we headed home to gussy ourselves up. Cullum arrived bearing big (local – Pulpit Rock) wine – although Mands, Alex and I posed with the bottle (below), we had nothing to do with drinking it; that job, successfully accomplished, we left to Cullum, Chris, my Dad and a few other enthusiastic volunteers.
The lunch was wonderful – everyone got along fabulously, and I realised, as I looked around the table, that not only are my friends who witty, loyal, wise and kind, they're also all very goodlooking! Bev said a lovely speech, I stumbled through a speech (speaking at the speed of an express train, as usual, and crying quite a lot, so I don't know how much was even audible), and my father gave me the most wonderful tribute (I still get all teary when I think about it), and made family history by not sneaking in even one veiled insult! (An example: when he spoke at my wedding, he informed my guests that my feet were so large he'd made extra money by renting out my shoes as catboxes. Which I actually found very funny then, and still do now.)
The birthday cake was made by Liesel's team at Wicked Treats – who've been making birthday cakes for our big occasions for some years, and have never disappointed.
We had to take the opportunity to have a family photograph taken, of course – our family of origin isn't together much any more these days.
I'm irritated with myself for not thinking to have a pic taken of the whole gathering – something we usually do religiously, and which I forgot. But thanks to Lood, who snapped away merrily all afternoon, I think I do have a photographic record of everyone – or at least almost everyone – who was there. (If anyone else has photos, please email them to me!)
Once the lunch was over, around 5pm, the guests who were staying over helped me take everything – including a rich haul of gifts! – back to my house, where we partied on into the night. It was almost like the 'old days' in Roos Street, except that I was stone-cold sober!
Lee (below, far left), another dear old high-school friend, who came through from Kommetjie, spent some after-party time with us. (The person lying next to the pool in the background of this pic is Flip. A few moments later, he stood up and in the process dropped his iPhone into the pool. A day in a bowl of rice – the phone, not Flip – did the trick, fortunately.)
On Sunday morning, I was up at dawn's crack, as usual. I'm sure some people wanted to murder me but since it was my birthday weekend, nobody did. Bev and Cullum made us breakfast, which we ate outside in lovely early-summer weather. (Below: Mandi and Jenny; both the beautiful tablecloth and the lovely mugs were birthday presents.)
I loved every second of my 50th birthday celebrations. Thank you to everyone who shared them with me!
* For the photographs, thanks also to Mands and Alex.

I read a lot of cozy mysteries that include yummy recipes for cookies and other baked items and I love to try the recipes (but I can't reprint them for obvious copyright reasons so you'll have to pick up the book if you want to try them!) so I've decided to share my results in a new post series called Baking by the Books. I'd love your feedback!
Viking Cookies
from Carrot Cake Murder by Joanne Fluke
These are a white chocolate chip oatmeal cookie which were super yummy but the recipe makes a TON (I ended up with 14 dozen!) so be prepared to pass some on to friends. This would also be a perfect recipe for a bake sale.
Between baking up a storm for The Cookie Jar and unravelling the mystery of her cat Moishe's recent strange behaviour, Hannah Swensen has a lot on her plate. But she'll always make time for her business partner, Lisa, who's in the midst of preparing for a big family reunion. Everyone is delighted when Lisa's long-lost uncle makes a surprise appearance. No one has heard from Gus in twenty-five years. Uncle Gus is immediately the hit of the reunion. He's almost as popular as Hannah's scrumptious carrot cake, which is also Gus' favourite dessert. But the next morning, as the whole family gathers for the group photo, one person is missing. Hannah offers to track down Uncle Gus, but her search leads to a shocking find. Over by the bar at the pavilion, she spots two slices of her infamous carrot cake, frosting-side down on the floor - and Gus' corpse with an ice pick jutting out of his chest!Now Hannah's got to sift through a long list of suspects to find a killer - even if it could mean a recipe for her own demise...

Huawei is launching the P10 next week and it was teased with the tagline "Change the way the world sees you". If you've been following their teasers on their official Twitter account, they have been dropping obvious hints that Huawei isn't settling for the traditional black and white.
As usual, serial leakster @evleaks has continued to drop more clues with the P10's colour options. As seen above, the new flagship will come in a dash of Blue, Gold and Green colours. The front of the Blue model comes in black, while the other two colours use white in front.
In terms of design, it looks similar to the current P9 series. The only differences are the rounder corners and the fingerprint sensor is now moved to the front. As a result, there's no Huawei branding at the bottom chin. If you haven't seen it yet, you can check out the speculated specs and clear 360-degree render of the Huawei P10 over here.
Do you like any of these new colours? Or would you prefer the traditional silver and dark grey colours of the P9? Let us know in the comments below.
Support Asian brands.. leave the arrogant America products away!
Titanium Grey is the most elegant colour for Huawei phone.. ever..

The debate was organised by the government, which is keen to see the principles of a free and equal net maintained. ISPs are increasingly looking to prioritise some traffic on their networks and block some. After the meeting the BBC called for the creation of a broadband content group to represent content providers. It, along with content providers such as Google, Yahoo, Facebook and Skype, is growing increasingly concerned about how the issue of net neutrality is being dealt with. Source: BBC News Share On

SOURCE: Cenergy Power
October 20, 2016 12:30 ET
BAKERSFIELD, CA--(Marketwired - October 20, 2016) - Cenergy Power and the Comprehensive Blood and Cancer Center (CBCC) have announced the ground breaking of a 1.3 megawatt (MW) solar canopy system at CBCC's Bakersfield facilities. The project will generate an estimated 1,850 megawatt hours (MWh) per year which is equivalent to the electricity usage of approximately 170 homes; while offsetting roughly 1,400 tons of CO2 emissions annually.
"The idea of offsetting the majority of the Cancer Center's carbon footprint plays perfectly with our value of the community and sensitivity towards potential environmental impacts," says CBCC's founder, Dr. Ravi Patel. "After several months of interviews with some of California's top solar companies, we finally made the decision to move forward with Cenergy Power in order to materialize our objective."
The CBCC has treated over 100,000 patients since it first opened in Bakersfield, offering patients access to all aspects of the world's best cancer care, the most advanced cancer treatment and detection tools, and cutting edge clinical trials. The seven-acre cancer center campus with over hundred thousand square feet is one of the largest free-standing cancer centers on the west coast. When complete, the solar system is projected to offset nearly 100% of the cancer center's electrical usage.
"There is tremendous excitement at Cenergy Power for this project with the CBCC," commented Chad Chahbazi, Director of Business Development at Cenergy Power. "We look forward to helping such a wonderful organization offset their CO2 emissions, allowing them to focus on their mission to provide continued medical and cancer treatment to those in need."
About Comprehensive Blood and Cancer Center (CBCC) (http://www.cbccusa.com)CBCC was founded by Dr. Ravi Patel in 1984 with the sole mission of providing compassionate care for diagnosis, treatment, patient education and prevention of cancer using a state-of-the-art treatment approach. CBCC's facilities, located in Bakersfield, California, occupy more than 100,000 sq. feet. CBCC has been a leader in oncology in the areas of patient care, technology and clinical research. Since then the Center has grown to become the number one accrual site for UCLA and Bristol Myers Squibb.
About Cenergy Power (Www.Cenergypower.Com) Cenergy Power is a leading solar integrator delivering unmatched value to commercial, agricultural and utility customers throughout the US. Based on installed capacity and year after year growth, Cenergy is the only commercial solar contractor to rank "Top Ten" in North America consecutively since 2013 by Solar Power World, a leading solar industry publication, Cenergy is comprised of seasoned professionals in the areas of power engineering, construction management and project financing.

Doctor Romantic Ep 11-12: The Price of Conscience
Hello everyone and welcome to the Doctor Romantic Drama Club! This week our characters had to deal with the aftermath of car accidents, shady Directors offering deals and so much more. Join Wendilynn, DeShonda and I as we discuss this week's episodes!
Wendilynn: Kang Dong Joo really was between a rock and a hard place in this episodes. I feel sorry that he had to face the girl of the man who died because he didn't do the surgery in time, but I think ultimately it was a good wake up call for why he even became a doctor in the first place.
June: I agree! Seeing that, while his mom was around too, was just so many emotions. But as you said, I think this was the wake up call he needed because it was a situation like this that made him want to become a doctor! I'm also glad he finally got his wake up call because it seems like he was really considering that offer that Evil Man was offering him. I was like noooooo don't listen to anything he's saying!
DeShonda: This was a wake up call that was very well needed. I felt really sad watching the scene between Kang Dong and and that girl. I was hoping that he would not take that offer from that Evil man either June.
Wendilynn: Director Do is really a piece of work. That man sold his soul so long ago that he has no grasp on human decency. Frankly, he probably had none to start with. The power structure as it currently exists can erase morality as the weak are destroyed for power. For all we know, Director Do could have been much like Dong Joo and through greed to be recognized like our young doctor made those decisions that Dong Joo was on the verge of making. The slippery slope that for the moment, Dong Joo is not sliding down.
June: Thankfully he's not! It looks like Director Do is now a thousand times more determined to get Im Bum on the team with Teacher Kim for that surgery. Man I just wish Director Do would just go away. He's such a pain in the neck. On the other hand, that situation with the soldier broke my heart. I felt so sad for his parents and so angry at the policemen for trying to cover it up! UGH!
DeShonda: I really dislike Doctor Do as well. Thank goodness that Dong Joo is not going down that path of destruction. That entire scene with the soldier was very heartbreaking to watch. It really kept me on the edge of my seat because I was trying to figure out who would beat him up so bad like that. I suspected his friend that bought him in was the culprit. But as we soon found out, there was much more to that story.
Wendilynn: That was pretty standard though. The military will always cover up abuses. And in a conscription situation where people aren't happy to send their children in the first place, to have that child then be abused? Oh yeah, not good. That was really heartbreaking. Thankfully Teacher Kim knew to record it for everyone's protection.
June: For real! Teacher Kim is really just the best in this drama and always has what's best for everyone and the hospital in mind. The one thing with dramas is I'm like why don't you record this conversation for proof or something and they never do, but not in this drama. The other thing that really pissed me off was that drunk driver's mom saying she was going to sue Seo Jung. I seriously had to calm myself down.
DeShonda: That mother of the drunk driver really had my blood boiling too. I don't know who was more annoying her or her spoiled brat of a son.
Wendilynn: Oh my gosh, that woman had balls trying to act like her son was being victimized. Just because she's some prosecutor's wife she though she had the right to ignore what her drunk son caused. That was appalling. Thankfully, our plucky Seo Jung took matters into her own hand. I'm just glad that young man wasn't like his mother. When faced with what he did to those two men, he took ownership of it. He could have so easily gone his mother's arrogant route, but when he walked into that room and apologized, you just wanted to hug him for doing the right thing. He gets to walk away from the event, but those men never would walk again. Without some mechanical help, that is.
June: Exactly! I was glad that he wasn't like his mom and apologized. He was able to see the gravity of the situation and took responsibility for it. I'm also glad Seo Jung stood her ground and didn't falter like that other lame doctor. Ugh, he was so annoying and was pissing me off too.
DeShonda: I was happy that he got a wake up call when he got to witness all of the damage he caused as well. I was cheering Seo Jung on for refusing to apologize to his mother. I love the fact that she stood firm in that decision.
Wendilynn: Well, he's been trained by Geosam to be worried about his butt first. But this habit of firing people to "take responsibility" for some fault doesn't exactly create people willing to risk themselves for what's right.
June: Exactly! I feel like if they are going to work in this hospital, they have to learn that it's completely different than how things are run at Geosam.
Wendilynn: Makes you wonder about the "plan" that Teacher Kim is hatching. After he decked Director Do, I have to wonder what he's trying to do. He finally stepped in and gave Dong Joo some really good advice to chew on. And I have a feeling he's trying to save In Bum from his father's machinations. So that a promising doctor isn't destroyed.
June: Oh I know right! It felt so good watching Teacher Kim deck Director Do, though violence should never be the answer! But he definitely is planning something and I really hope In Bum breaks free from Director Do somehow!
DeShonda: I also think that Doctor Kim is trying to save Im Bum from his father after watching these episodes. But I am still trying to figure out what his plan is as well. I know there is something up his sleeve, but what could it be?
Wendilynn: Now we have the medical team positions to fill. Will the right people get the spots they deserve or the spots they need?
